Greetings folks,
I've been given a customized Ubuntu distribution, modified using the LiveCD guide. It was based on Jaunty. I extracted the .iso and chrooted into the environment, then ran do-release-upgrade to go to Karmic. It worked well, save for some complaints that stemmed from many default packages being removed in the previous custom version.
In any event, I noticed that in listing installed packages after the upgrade, there are now two versions of linux-headers and linux-image: the generic ones based on the new kernel used in Karmic, and ones named after the custom distribution whose name implies that they were constructed from the previous kernel version. I'm assuming that means that a custom kernel was compiled for the custom distribution, right? If that's the case, is there any way I can determine what was (or was not) included in the old kernel version to duplicate the effort in compiling a custom kernel based on the one Karmic uses? Or, is there any harm in having both versions of the linux-image and linux-headers packages installed in my new version?
As you can probably tell, I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to really roll my sleeves up and know what really needs to be done. ANY help you can provide would be very greatly appreciated!
